Visited four (4) Specsavers in the Midlands to have them look at my Reading Glasses which got damaged. The damage was to the spring hinge (common problem) which any optician - educated and experienced - would have looked at, instantly noticed the issue, provided the remedy, cost and time to repair. Let's look at each in turn, actually, lets not as Specsavers fell over on the second hurdle. All of the sites visited said that I needed a new frame and the fault was due to the way I used the glasses (blaming the Customer) and the way the glasses are made (ironically why do they sell them?). It was embarrassing listening to one Optician tell me that he knew more about the engineering of the hinge and his condescending attitude that he knew more than me was just unbelievably distressing. That said, the £200 Prada reading glasses can be repaired, the spring hinge can be replaced/repaired, and I don't have to purchase a new frame. The repair will cost me £25. Specsavers claim they are an optician but the word itself is broad, perhaps it is time they honestly and ethically look at using 'Eyetesting Services, Selling Glasses/Lens'.
